Concorde sneak preview ahead of Aerospace Bristol opening

By Charlie Gearon  Monday Aug 21, 2017

In anticipation of the launch of Aerospace Bristol – the new aviation museum due to open later this year – a select group of Concorde fans were given the opportunity to preview the attraction on Filton Airfield.

These 250 supporters were invited to see a private Red Arrows show before being allowed into the museum’s new Concorde hangar to get an exclusive sneak preview of the historic aircraft.

This event took place in conjunction with the new ‘Concorde Memory Map’ – an online database of personal anecdotes about Concorde and its history. To share your own memories, or to offer a donation, visit www.aerospacebristol.org/concorde-stories
